Situation ‘very alarming’ in southern Lebanon after Israeli pre-emptive strikes • FRANCE 24
Reporting from Beirut, FRANCE 24’s Rawa Taha says the Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon early Sunday, following Hezbollah retaliatory attack in response to last month’s Israeli assassination of its senior commander, Fuad Shukr, was a “very alarming” development. Southern Lebanon has been in “state of war” since October, when the Israel-Hamas war erupted, and Lebanese residents have “really become used to this daily exchange of fire, but nothing on this scale as of yet,” said Taha.

When will Lebanese rise up against the terrorist Hizbolla and show the world they re not in support of them
I said on October 8th, that country would never again know peace. BTW, that 'Right' you keep claiming to have…NO. Yer wrong.
France is a Communist Country.
Lebanon started attacking Israel. Don't play the victim card now.
God bless Israel and it people
Victim card out already 😂 the war didn’t even start
End hizbolla end terrorism
Lebanon has the right to defend itself (or not) why does every other state in the Middle East have to live in fear of the warmongers all the time
Love to us all!
France stands with hezbolla?
When you ask for your fate. Guest appears biased.
very alarming for you maybe. Every israeli has been expecting this attack since 1 week ago. every sites in Israel is secured and every assets is in hardened bunker. only an idiot army will tell the enemy it is attacking before it does.
“Preemptive” means “escalation.”
Why would Hezbollah leave rocket launch sites and weapons warehouses above ground and easy targets for the IDF?
No more crying to the UN! Lets get it on!
Escalation is escalating…
west give new word for isreal aggression " preemptive""
Correction….that HAMAS started
Hisbulli started attacking Israel the day after October 8. Israel went into Gaza only a week later , so the was clearly unprovoked back then. Lebanon has made Hizbollo and Iran rulers of Lebanon by doing nothing to stop them . Its so sad
jihad started war; jihad will be hit hard in lebanon; jihad is muslim war; the jihad targets USA troops and Jews in Israel; they want more war to die; they are death cult
She's kind of a little Babe. 😉
France 24, Situation ‘very alarming’ in middle-east, in France and Latin America since a long time ago!

Carlos the Jackal…whose real name is Ilich Sanchez Ramirez…Ramirez gained international notoriety during the 1970s and 80s as the alleged mastermind of a series of bombings, killings and hostage dramas. He is serving a life sentence in France for the 1975 murders of two French secret agents and an alleged informant…In his speech, Chavez also sought to defend other leaders he said are wrongly labeled "bad boys" internationally, including Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Chavez called both of them brothers and said he now wonders whether Ugandan dictator Idi Amin was truly as brutal as he was reputed to be. I. James (Associated Press). Chavez praises Carlos the Jackal. Independent. Nov 21, 2009.
"The Chavez model of allying with both state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran while sponsoring violent non-state terrorist organizations involved in criminal activities and terrorism strongly resembles the template pioneered by Hezbollah, a radical Shite Muslim terrorist organization that enjoys the state sponsorship of Iran and Syria. In fact, the military doctrine of the “Bolivarian Revolution,” officially adopted in Venezuela and rapidly spreading to Chávez’s allies in Bolivia and Nicaragua, explicitly embraces the radical Islamist model of asymmetrical or “fourth generation warfare,” and its heavy reliance on suicide bombings and different types of terrorism, including the use of nuclear weapons. This is occurring at a time when Hezbollah’s presence in Latin America is growing and becoming more identifiable…The main book Chavez has adopted as his military doctrine is Peripheral Warfare and Revolutionary Islam: Origins, Rules and Ethics of Asymmetrical Warfare (Guerra Periferica y el Islam Revolucionario: Orígenes, Reglas y Etica de la Guerra Asimetrica ) by the Spanish politician and ideologue Jorge Verstrynge. Although he is not a Muslim and the book was not written directly in relation to the Venezuelan experience, Verstrynge’s book lauds radical Islam (as well as past terrorists like Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, better known as Carlos the Jackal) for helping to expand the parameters of what irregular warfare should encompass, including the use of biological and nuclear weapons, along with the correlated civilian casualties among the enemy. Chavez has openly admitted his admiration for Ramírez Sánchez, who is serving a life sentence in France for murder and terrorist acts. D. Farah. Criminalized States and Terrorist-Criminal Pipelines.
